Travel to Bahamas - Getting There

Travel to Bahamas by air

Getting to Bahamas by air is simple. There are many airports all over the islands. You can plan your tip accordingly. Due to its closeness to The United States there are daily flights to Nassau and Freeport. Once in the country, there are many options with small airlines and charters to fly to all the others.

There are a total of 62 airports of which only half have paved runways. The small planes doing the Island Hoping can do it with no problem. The big aircraft of the major carriers will land at Nassau International Airport and Freeport International Airport, only.

Flights from Miami to Nassau can take as little as 35 minutes. Flights take two hours from Atlanta, two and a half hours from New York, and approximately three hours from Toronto.

There are many ports of entry to Bahamas and you just need your proper documentation. USA and Canadian Citizens could visit Bahamas just carrying their passport. Nationals of other countries, please check with the proper authorities.

Getting around when you Travel to Bahamas

Bikes and scooters

Because many travelers remain confined to their resorts, and I don’t blame them, most sites on the islands remain unseen. For that a bike of scooter are the ideal way to visit the remote places, seldom visited by tourists, like remote beaches, caves and secluded coves. You can rent one of these means of transportation in any of the islands.

By boat

Island Hopping by boat is great. There are many marinas all over the archipelago offering all kind of yachts and smaller boats the anchoring and services desired. Once in any of the marinas, you’ll find all kind of food, refreshments and recreation services. And the beaches are idyllic. Just imagine visiting one or two beaches a day.

By plane

Being the Bahamas a country of 700 islands, besides by boat, the only way to visit them all is by plane. All the islands have some kind of airport or some kind of runway. Many of them are unpaved. But they are enough for small planes to land.

This way of Island Hopping will let you visit more remote islands in less time. So if you want to get out of the noise of Nassau – Paradise Island, Freeport or the All Inclusive Resorts, this is a solution

Bahamasair is the main inter island air carrier of The Bahamas, but smaller carriers based out of Nassau offer charter services to the Out Islands. Many hotels and resorts also offer their own charter services.

Travelers can go to Bahamas Air Charters to find out more information on charter flights on the island.

By Ferry

There are local ferries traveling between the islands. These services are perfect for tourists on a budget and are used by locals on a regular basis. Some government run ferries offer services between the island that are close. The same applies to those separated by greater distances.

Car rental

For those that would leave their resort for a while and are eager to see more of the Bahamas, nothing compares to a rental Car.

Major companies are all over and many local companies alike. It may be a little expensive for our standards, but it’s worth the try. You’ll feel free to go where you want and when you want.

Weather

The weather for your Travel to Bahamas is moderated by the Gulf Stream, therefore it is warm all year round. But the islands are cooler than the other Caribbean Islands, first due to their much northern latitude and also because it is sometime affected by the cold waves coming from the continent. The average temperature is 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit during summer and a 70 to 80 degrees in winter.

The islands are on the path of the Hurricanes and very well prepared for that, like we are in South Florida. The good thing about the modern technology is that we know with enough time if you should cancel your Bahamas Travel..
